Access For All aims at providing an overview of the most relevant projects dealing with people with disabilities and their needs. These range from private initiatives to those partially funded by e.g. the European Commission under the Framework Programmes, Leonardo da Vinci Programme, etc.
ATutor is the most accessible e-learning environment worldwide, and is used by PhoenixKM throughout its activities to offer an easy, user friendly but above all accessible online learning experience. Soon free courses will be made available as well.
PhoenixKM also offers as part of its services a Moodle e-learning environment, supporting a number of organisations in establishing their online learning environment.
The Code of Practice for Mentoring - an online self-assessment tool
Are you a promoter of mentoring programmes for disadvantaged people (people with disabilities, older people)? Then you will be interested in Validating Mentoring 2 project's online assessment tool of mentoring practices, based on the Code of Practice that is designed to provide a thorough quality assurance programme. While the Code is currently being finalised. The Validating Mentoring 2 project released already the online tool in various languages (Bulgarian, Dutch, English and Turkish).
Following is already available:
- VM2 e-learning platform (will soon offer the Code of Practice in e-learning format - course material)
- Online self-assessment process
Please bear in mind that the Code, in its present form, is a tool for use by the promoters of mentoring programmes to improve their own practice. The results are their own property and they will become public only if they so choose. There is a longer-term possibility that the Code may be adapted for use in a process that will offer wider public recognition, but the project is not yet at that stage, although they are interested in your views as guidance for possible developments in this direction.
Once you have worked with the online tool, we would appreciate your feedback by completing following short questionnaire. Any comments you provide that elaborate your answers will be very welcome.
Your feedback (can be sent via our contact form)
1. About you
- Your name
- Occupational position
- Country
2. Your views about the Code of Practice and its content (pdf will soon be available of the Code of Practice)
- Does the Code of Practice provide a thorough coverage of the key issues in relation to the successful operation of mentoring programmes?
- Is its approach, and the commitment that it requires from users, appropriate to the outcomes that it offers to its users?
- Within the context of its overall goals (i.e. that it should provide a through, probing, review), do you have any suggestions about ways in which its present content could be made more user friendly?
3. Your views about self-assessment, as presented in the Code of Practice
- Is the Code of Practice likely to succeed in encouraging users to thoroughly review their programmes?
- Is it likely to encourage them to ask themselves (and their team) probing questions that they might not otherwise have confronted?
- Even for its present purposes, would the self-assessment methodology benefit from some sort of external input?
4. Your views about the external recognition of self-assessment
- How far, amongst relevant authorities in your country, an understanding of the general strengths and weaknesses of self-assessment?
- What general acceptance is there, among such groups, of self-assessment methodology and its outcomes?
- If self-assessment were to be supplemented by a limited element of external input, how far would this increase the acceptance of its outcomes?
